I have these eastings and northings:
easting - c(626550, 583550, 584083, 584550, 518437)
northing - c(169550, 172550, 173989, 169550, 160768)
Is there a way to convert to long/lat in R? Attempts to code through
googling have failed.
Thanks

It's impossible to guess effectively from an infinite number of possible
coordinate systems (though probably the units are metres), but if you have
more information on where they come from, what they are, and even where
*you are* it can start to narrow down likely candidates. More information
If these are eastings and northings in the UK and based on the OSGB
National Grid system, then you just use the code I told you about last
week or so
The only problem might be if you don't know what grid square they came from.

Hi Ross,
which projection does it have??
I think it can be done using spTransform but for that you need to
provide projection info.
This code might be useful
# need library (rgdal) and (sp).
a-data.frame(easting,northing)
coordinates(a)= ~easting + northing
proj4string(a)-CRS(Need projection info
